I find that this series of which I have already reviewed some books is an excellent balance between the interest of the historian and that of the model maker. The books in a few pages are technical enough to be useful to the modeller who has already seen everything and to the historian who wants to know some more details, but as written above, the photos, both those of the vehicle and those of the kits, provide a mix which makes the books of this series an excellent starting point and an excellent investment for the enthusiasts.

With the M65 Atomic Cannon having limited coverage by the model manufacturers I am really pleased to have a copy of this book from Pen and Sword as part of their ‘Images of War’ book series. The period photographs are a great visual reference on the M65 Atomic Cannon and with the very good captions provided with the photographs increasing their value even further. This weapon was never used in anger or as far as I am aware anything more than a deterrent to the Eastern BLOC countries and so I found the period pictures a really nice inclusion. It is also for this reason and the fact that it is just such a huge piece of equipment that the in detail section with the walk around and close ups is so valuable. The captions that accompany these images are really helpful as I feel it would prove next to impossible for the average person to know exactly what aspect of the vehicle they are looking at. In finishing this book and for that matter the series, offer fantastic value for money regardless.. Read moreArmorama

Graham, I believe, is a great storyteller as well as a first-class soldier, and this book will make you passionate about conflict and stories that would look good in a movie.
Each action is different from the other, and Graham still manages to weave them together like a fiction book. I highly recommend this book to those unfamiliar with the Rhodesian conflict, which ended in an unfortunate way for matters that were out of military aspect. However the memory of the actions of these few and brave soldiers that as the motto of the SAS says "they dared and won" remains.

1st Leibstandarte - Adolf Hitler SS Panzer Division

Possibly the most famous of Hitler's SS panzer divisions was the Leibstandarte; it bore his name and shared his fanaticism.
